About
Join us and create vibrant, large-scale digital mosaics that will appear on the Questacon building, one LEGO brick at a time. You can be part of the creative process by using digital LEGO bricks and tiles on outdoor iPad stations, that will be projected onto our building in real time.
Alongside the projections, you can expect a dynamic lineup of hands-on activities, including science demonstrations and glowing igloos with LEGO building stations. Our very own Questacon pop-up shop will be selling all your favourite glowing items, Atomic café has your sweet tooth covered with flashing fairy floss, ice cream served in glowing cups and pick your own flavour popcorn.
The team from the Royal Australian Chemical Institute will be joining the fun on for Saturday 8 March to demonstrate the chemistry of fluorescence. Discover where it is found naturally in biology and how it can be used in medical applications.
With all this and more, we promise a unique and collaborative fusion of art, science and technology, sparking curiosity and engagement for audiences of all ages.
Come be a part of an unforgettable experience where creativity builds connections and curiosity knows no bounds!
